This whole year had the air sucked out of our lungs. First, the fires here in L.A. and Altadena. Then David Lynch died. Then Trump is sworn in again (on Lynch's birthday), and everything else that followed (including Hackman's death). I'm reading obits of everyone except the one I want to read.

...in my opinion, is nowhere near as good at "The Mission," plus the film itself was (for me) repulsive.

Thank you. It's a shame Morricone didn't win the Oscar for "The Mission." I loved " 'Round Midnight," and I love Herbie Hancock's music. But Hancock's score was part original, part adaptation. Morricone's work was totally original. And the film he won his Oscar for, "The Hateful Eight," is...

"...thus making it for the latter as their own. The result is a work that soars above and beyond the mindset that film scores must have full orchestras to work dramatically."

I found this comment I had posted on my FB page three years ago. Here is an excerpt from then: "The track 'On Earth As It Is In Heaven,' is probably the apex of Morricone's genius, the culmination of decades of beautiful music performed in this one piece." And then I added this...
